Description
The data contains influent and effluent concentrations of traditional parameters measured in on-site package plants for domestic wastewater treatment serving single houses or small communities (2-30 person equivalent). The parameters analysed include organic matter, suspended solids, nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen compounds) and indicator bacteria, as well as other physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH and turbidity, and chloride as a tracer compound to detect dilution effects. Additional influent and effluent concentrations of micropollutants from two slightly larger plants (serving 12-30 person equivalent) are also included. These micropollutants consisted of 19 selected pharmaceuticals, caffeine and the sweetener Acesulfame K, and 15 phthalates.
The purpose of the collected dataset was to investigate the treatment efficiency of package plants operating in cold climate conditions throughout different seasons. The samples were collected in the northern regions of Sweden (Norrbotten) and Finland (North Ostrobothnia and Lapland) characterised by low winter temperatures and deep
The purpose of the collected dataset was to investigate the treatment efficiency of package plants operating in cold climate conditions throughout different seasons. The samples were collected in the northern regions of Sweden (Norrbotten) and Finland (North Ostrobothnia and Lapland) characterised by low winter temperatures and deep frost penetration.
The data has not been processed and consists of results (raw data) obtained directly from our university laboratory in Luleå university of technology (nutrient samples) and accredited laboratories (traditional parameters, microbiology, micropollutants).
The data contains influent and effluent concentrations of traditional parameters measured in on-site package plants for domestic wastewater treatment serving single houses or small communities (2-30 person equivalent). The purpose of the collected dataset was to investigate the treatment efficiency of package plants operating in cold climate conditions throughout different seasons. The samples were collected in the northern regions of Sweden (Norrbotten) and Finland (North Ostrobothnia and Lapland) characterised by low winter temperatures and deep frost penetration.
The investigated facilities included six package plants operated in continuous mode: one with a trickling filter (TF), one with a rotating biological contactor (RBC) and four with activated sludge with phosphorus removal by coagulation (ASC) or alkaline filter (ASF1, ASF2, ASF3) systems. Additionally, five plants supplied by three different manufacturers operated in batch mode with activated sludge and coagulation for phosphorus removal (SBR1-5).
The parameters analysed include organic matter (BOD), suspended solids (TSS), nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen compounds) and indicator bacteria, as well as other physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH and turbidity, and chloride as a tracer compound to detect dilution effects. Additional influent and effluent concentrations of micropollutants from two slightly larger plants (ASC and TF, serving 12-30 person equivalent) are also included. These micropollutants consisted of 19 selected pharmaceuticals, caffeine and the sweetener Acesulfame K, and 15 phthalates.
The data set contains multiple files:
-A main excel file called "Wastewater_package_plants" containing the numerical results of influent and effluent concentrations of traditional parameters and selected micropollutants.
- Three excel files called "Wastewater temp data..." containing temperature data logged continuously with a temperature sensor (placed in the biological treatment unit) at three different package plants
- Two text files called "SMHI Air temp data..." with air temperature data retrieved from the Swedish meteorological institute (SMHI) to be used with the wastewater temperature data
All the excel files are provided in xlsx and csv format. Show less..
